Safety and Efficacy Trial of Delamanid for 6 Months in Participants With Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis

The purpose of this trial is to determine whether delamanid is effective in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) in combination with other MDR TB medications during 6 months of treatment.

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of delamanid administered orally as 100 milligrams (mg) twice daily (BID) for 2 months followed by 200 mg once daily (QD) for 4 months in combination with an optimized background treatment regimen (OBR) versus placebo with OBR during the 6-month Intensive Period of MDR TB treatment. Following the 6-month Intensive Period, OBR was administered alone during the Continuation Period for 12 to 18 months (from Month 7 up to Month 24). The trial also included a post-treatment follow-up period of 6 to 12 months (Month 19 to Month 24 to the end of Month 30). OBR given throughout the study was administered as per World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and national treatment norms.

This trial is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, stratified, placebo-controlled trial that was conducted globally in 2 parallel groups at 17 sites in 7 countries qualified to treat MDR TB.
